Abstract

The research was to determine the more efficient design of the swirler from the point of view of hydrodynamics and heat and its optimal parameters. Various swirl designs were manufactured and tested. After preliminary studies conducted on a laboratory installation with a glass working apparatus, several swirlers were selected taking into account their hydraulic resistance, the structure of the swirling gas-liquid flow, and the amount of liquid entrainment by gas. The results of an experimental study of the hydrodynamics of a hollow vortex apparatus with one and two tangential and axial swirlers. Hydraulic losses in the channel and in the swirls during the direct downward movement of gas and gas-liquid flow are determined. In addition, studies of the hydraulic resistance of a vortex-type device allow us to determine the energy consumption of this device for conducting complex processes of dust collection and absorption or contact heat exchange. The hydraulic resistance in the presence of a liquid film is higher than in the case of a single-phase gas flow. The pressure drop in the studied vortex apparatus does not exceed the resistance of high-performance cyclones and vortex-type devices of other designs. The effect of the twist coefficient of gas swirlers, gas velocity, and liquid flow on the pressure drop in the vortex apparatus is established
